Question: Is there a wheel style/brand which "you" would like to see included (more often) as an option in a kit, or available in a parts pack?

[Can-Con]

How about some good classic wire wheels suitable for hot rods?

These would be most welcome! Even if they had to make the wheel itself in multiple pieces to get them to look right..........

These Mustang II/Pinto wheels...............

Best Kelsey-Hayes street rod wires are in the Monogram 30 Ford Woody. 1/24 scale, but look great on the 30 Ford 5 window!

[roadhawg]

Appliance Tru Spokes were pretty popular back in the day.........

[Plowboy]

I'd like to see a set of Weld Drag Lite’s. One of the most popular wheels ever and only came in the Pro Stock kits.

A set of Rod Lites would also be nice.

  

I'd also like to see some more modern wheels like Revell did with the California Wheels and Foose kits. But, more up to date.

I think AMT [what ever they are called now] should put these in their 67 Shelby kit..

This one is still buggin' me. Nobody has any idea what this wheel was called or who made it?

[Bills72sj]

As mentioned above, Keystone Klassics, Hurst Dazzlers, American Racing 200-S, 3-piece Corvette rallys. All in with wide and widers

A lot of different wants as far as wheel appearance. I think that Cobraman's suggestion of a two-part wheel might be a viable idea. The outer halves could be one or more widths and the centers could be interchangeable depending on the style the builder wanted.

That could be expanded a little. A lot of modern wheels are just bigger old wheels so if there was a second size of rims to upsize the originals you've just turned one wheel into 2 differnet sets with just a rim swap. if the extra rim had a little extra lip that would give you the option to get the offsets you need. For example a 16" early ford rim could be a modern 18/9" rim

I would be interested in them. I might not have anything to trade as 90% of my models and parts boxes are in storage.

PM me your address, I've got two sets you can have.

[Richard Bartrop]

Yes, if Revell could somehow bring back the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, or come up with a new version, that would be great.  The big and little wide whites and steel wheels from the '29 RPU are just begging for the Parts Pack treatment.

[ChrisBcritter]

I'd love to see some 13-inch/4-bolt steelies and chrome reverses; not sure if anyone else would.

I saw those. But, at $30 plus shipping for a set of wheels and tires, that's a hard hard pass!

Centerline Warriors in a big/little combo would be nice

Looks like American Racing AR23 wheels

[Mike C.]

It does, but it's missing the rivets. And it's six lugs.

I looked. One piece, 6 lug. Really like them. What is that on, Chevy?
